I wonder how he would respond to "unbelievers".

"But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them - bring them here and kill them in front of me." (Luke 19:27)

Nice.

It seems silly (to me) to complain that atheism does not meet ones personal needs.

Indeed. I prefer pound-cost averaging and compound interest. No false profits, please.

A bigot wants us to "trust" him on the theory that one of the greatest and most well documented genocides ever was a fake.

Indeed. ArseMarks hardly endears himself to us, does he?

What would Jesus say?

Either:

'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' (Luke 23:34)

Or

'And if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to have two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched.' Mark (9:43-46)

Neither of these are contradictory, of course...

62. Comment #158232 by epeeist -

Absolutely agree. It's that people are prone to equate engineer with mechanic. And mechanics use engineering priciples to fix things, so - in effect - they're another branch of applied science. I'll rely on my garage's mechanicsfor advice on the car, because, well, they damn well know what they're talking about. I've known car designers I wouldn't let anywhere near a sump for fear of what they'd do...

We digress. The real purpose of this post was to - at Vaal's implicit request - pronounce judgement upon the festering dung-pile known as kjmastaw.

Verdict: Guilty of perverting the course of Natural Selection.

Bailiff - send in the next defendant.

Aah, Mr Robertson, so nice to see you...

Edit: Brian, Steve - I feel I have seen an overreaction on all sides the last couple of days, which is a real shame. In real life I like to give people the benefit of the doubt (no, really I do) - after all, we are only human. This forum allows me a vent - something the majority of us need from time to time. Some of my posts could be taken the wrong way, but usually people know when I'm being deliberately offensive to them, and I hope the rest get the joke...

I don't say fucktard much in the same way that you hardly ever proclaim yourself to be a god.

Well, I have to have faith in myself, and if I declared myself to be a god, I'd stop believing in myself and this could lead to all sorts of unforeseen consequences.

I'm not entirely sure. I think that for some their god (or) gods give them a moral 'benchmark' to follow. However, some of the moral ones decide what the benchmark is on the grounds that you can pretty much make a case for any kind of behaviour as a theist - so they choose the 'best bits' and interpret the rest as, well, it was different in those days...

Rationalisers - not rationalists.

I will not be telling them the universe is 6000 years old.

I will not be telling them a sky daddy watches their every move.

Children have to be taught SOMETHING, don't they? Do you advocate leaving children on their own to let them learn things randomly? We teach them all sorts of things.

I certainly was not 'taught' all sorts of 'childish' things. I learnt how to read, write and do maths. I learnt about history, science, engineering, nature etc. None of these are childish 'thing's'. You can simplify an explanation for a child, but you DO NOT TEACH THEM LIES. A seven year old may not be able to understand quantum mechanics, but they can learn how a simple electrical circuit with a battery an a bulb works and that electron's 'flow' around the closed circuit and their energy is used to light (and heat) the bulb.

When they're young, of course you read them Chicken Little, nursery rhymes etc. but you sure as fuck don't end it by saying 'you have to believe this really happened - for the rest of your life - otherwise you're not a good person and won't get into a (fictional) heaven.

Children need education and information - not pig ignorant bullshit dressed up as fact. [/rant]
